I bought a caddis wing cutter made by River Road Customs. I thought I had some material to cut wings from but it didn't work well. Anyone have suggestions on materials that work? RRC has some on thier web site but I thought I'd check around before I bought some.

Mallard primary feathers. Try tying a Henryville special they work great, one of the best patterns I've found especially on brookie streams, but they work for browns very well too. The other pattern I use is the deer hair wing.

Tabasco, one other thing you can use for wings is to take a piece of swiss straw flatten it out then take some head cement and coat the one side, fold it in half with the glue being in the center of the fold, let dry then punch out.
